I'm getting a bit peed off with Amazon Prime ... Just finished series 1 of Van Veeteren and trying to find more Nordic Noir to watch. The few series I'm interested in are not only unavailable free on Prime, but you have to pay up to £17 to watch a series. That's way too much IMO. It would make more sense to buy and then sell them on bluray as I did with The Killing where I got all three on a box set, but problem is that many of these are not available on bluray and it really pains me to view dvd, you just know how much you are missing out on visually.

We're about to start a Swedish series simply called Morden, The Murders (translated). Original or what Nothing to do with the place in the England It's a stand alone series but follows after Graven, The Grave. Not sure if it will come here not.. It's on SVTplay not geoblocked as some are. We're enjoying all the TV apps and using Chromecast to get on the TV. Easy peasy.

Amuses me they charge for some series still available - per episode ! Confirms they are after our money I'm spending most of my day watching TdF live (chasing on the Tivo) on ITV4. Tweaked up the Tivo quality to Best, but that is still SD

English subtitles for those of us who don't speak any of the Scandi languages ?

Anyone can watch the ones that aren't geo blocked for various reasons, buy you'd need to skill up on the lingo

Thanks Steve I can struggle in German and pick up points in French and Spanish. Some Scandi words are the same as German but not enough for me to know enough about what is going on

Yeah it's not a very straight forward language to just pick up from over here Thanks Steve I can struggle in German and pick up points in French and Spanish. Some Scandi words are the same as German but not enough for me to know enough about what is going on

I've got high hopes for "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders" which start on Friday, 5USA 21:00. I'm a long-time fan of the original Criminal Minds series and a spin-off starring the underrated (i.m.h.o.) Gary Sinise has to be worth a watch.

Wifey and I have been enjoying Keeping Faith. Eve Myles plays a great part as the concerned wife of a missing husband and each episode gets more and more enthralling.

I don't know how I ever coped with it, but David Caruso's performance is simply cringeworthy. He has one way of talking and every movement has to look cool, especially the taking off of the shades. Frankly, such a smug character as that is just asking for a beating.

I'll look out for that too as I agree Gary Sinise is a super actor.

Just started watching Scandi serial killer series 'Those Who Kill'. It's pretty graphic, definitely not in the same league as The Killing but got a sealed 3 dvd disc set for just over a pound on ebay!

Frankly, such a smug character as that is just asking for a beating. He was the actor (and I use the term loosely) who very nearly managed to ruin NYPD Blue for me, thankfully though the rest of the cast made up for him. His whiny little character had all the charm, talent, substance, and moral fiber of a silent fart.

Ah, NYPD Blue. I so loved that series. Agreed about Caruso.

The other thing that annoyed me in NYPD Blue, which they eventually remedied, or at least cut down on was those bloody multiple jump cuts between scenes with the camera flying in every direction.

I seem to remember it was one of the first series to use a lot of Steadicam and we just weren't used to it back then.

Anyone tried the HBO drama Succession on Sky Atlantic? I've watched the first episode. Not sure where it's going but the acerbic dialogue keeps it entertaining.

Is anyone else watching The Handmaid's Tale? Last night was another difficult-to-watch episode.
If, like me, you consider religion to be more evil than good, you need to watch one of the greatest series ever made for TV. It's all too believable near future SF. Syria has got nothing on Gilead.
